You're assuming the set of people who dislike ads and actively block them, intersects with the set of people who don't mind ads.
I'm not convinced that's the case. They're usually quite different demographics.

If the usage of ad blockers increases, you can bet that those not using ad blockers will be squeezed and exploited and have a thousand popups and intrusive ads thrown at them in order for the sites to recoup the lost money.
So those using ad blockers are making the web worse for everyone.
You stopped leeching their bandwidth without any opportunity for them to earn any ad revenue from them!
Allowing leeches on your website doesn't seem that beneficial.
Getting past ad-blockers isn't exactly rocket science. This is an arms race which will not end well.
You could have learnt other tricks of the trade, could have made new friends talking to that human bartender.
Talking to someone who is a master at something is far more valuable than asking the internet specific questions - how do you know what questions to ask...
If you're developing something which must work 100% every time or else someone will die, then unit tests are a must.
If you're developing with people who break the build all the time, then unit tests are useful.
Unit tests that aren't 100% up to date with the code are worse than no unit tests.
Have you ever tried convincing an athiest that there is a god, or a christian that there isn't a god?
